gird themselves with
sackcloth: on the
tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall
howl,
weeping abundantly.
In its streets they wear
sackcloth; on the rooftops and in the public squares they all
wail, falling down
weeping.
Yet
gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the
shaking of an olive tree, two or three
berries in the
top of the
uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.
Yet gleanings will remain, like an olive tree that has been beaten— two or three
berries atop the tree, four or five on its fruitful branches,” declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
One thousand shall
flee at the
rebuke of one; at the
rebuke of five shall ye
flee: till ye be left as a
beacon upon the
top of a mountain, and as an
ensign on an hill.
A thousand will
flee at the
threat of one; at the
threat of five you will all
flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a
banner on a hill.
For
Tophet is ordained of old;
yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of
brimstone,
doth kindle it.
For
Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral
pyre is deep and wide, with
plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a
torrent of burning sulfur, sets it
ablaze.
